    What's the rainmeter skin on the left with the processes?

    Also, what Adium skin do you use?

    it's actually geektool. No skin, just white opaque background and varying helvetica. The adium skin is a customized white version of decay 2.0 made to match the geektool displays. It's pinned to the desktop using the free program afloat, which i've had for a while.

    i got rid of the processes, because it looks terrible without a fixed width font (and i like my helvetica). Also added weather and made it into nice looking typography.

    Don't bother looking at the specs, I plan to upgrade to an i5 rig in 1-3 months.

    EDIT: Just updated so that in place of Gmail and the XKCD atom feed I have a Shacknews and Kotaku RSS feed.

    Alphacoders has loaaaaads of high quality wallpapers, highly recommended.
    I used one the other day, they are amazingly fast, and overclock like nothing on earth.

    Makes me sadface that I built a Phenom rig just before it was announced >:[

    I love it, it's so dark and gloomy, makes you feel almost as if your standing there yourself, the Time/Date is well spaced/faded also.

    This insipred me to modify some rainmeter shiz, and make a new desktop, which I am quite happy with:
